Question

Displacement between maximum potential energy position and maximum kinetic energy position for a particle executing simple harmonic motion is

Answer 1

Fora SHM the PE of the particle is zero at equilibrium position where KE is maximum.

Again at the extreme positions for displacement =+a or -a ,the KE of the particle is zero it has got maximum PE.

Hence displacement between these two points is +a or -a , where a is the amplitude of the SHM.
